Good tidings to all!

In the noble tradition of those other three kings, this king is thrilled to bring you a special gift on camel back this season, and it’s arguably better than Myrrh: a new Carloman Christmas song!

La Marche Des Rois is an old Provencale song for the Epiphany, which saw previous incarnations as “Marche du Regiment de Turenne” by Lully and “L’Arlesienne” by Bizet. Today, it joins “Entre le Boeuf et L’Ane Gris” and “Corpus Christi Carol” in A Carloman Christmas— download the whole album on Bandcamp!

As always, this download is name-your-price. If you enjoy it, however, please pass it along! Share the post, email it to your friends and family, spread the Carloman spirit far and wide! Now, without further ado, here’s wishing you very happy holidays from Carloman!

Ever get the hankering to write a twee folk song for no real reason? I do sometimes.

A weird battle song from Carloman II. A lot of this album was about medieval people losing their minds in the desert.

Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream…

From the short film, “Awakening.”

My future medieval folk music project, Carloman.

Original composition for the film, “The Bicycle.” How often do you get to compose a Pet Sounds instrumental with bike parts for percussion? One of my favorites.

Part of my electric guitar madrigal album. This was originally composed by William Byrd in the 1500s, which blows my mind.

Wrote this theme song for the mock-app commercial: Chillr.

We had fun trying to decide what style the jingle should be. Ended up going with positive 70s dude rock, ala Thin Lizzy.

Original composition featured in the film: ROVER (or Beyond Human: The Venusian Future and the Return of the Next Level.

I was asked to write something similar to a 50 year old Estonian female folk singer. We ended up with this pig-latin duet.
